Ride Like The Wind by Christopher Cross
[...]Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the airing of the first Rocky & Friends Show. Rocky the flying squirrel and Bullwinkle the moose were formative in their day, precursors of the Simpsons, South Park, and other cartoons. It initially also had a puppet sequence and in one show Bullwinkle the [...]
Someone has invented bomb-proof wallpaper. It is stronger than the wall it papers. Testing showed one thickness of the wallpaper was enough to prevent a wrecking ball from destroying a concrete and a brick wall. It’s a Kevlar-type material, in between sheets of elastic polymer wrap, which provides flexibility and [...]
Sadly, unless you’re willing to pay good money, there are no really well designed themes for Wordpress blogs when you’ve got many categories and you post long rambling posts. Or the say you can do this and that with their theme but they don’t actually tell you how (and if you [...]
As I mentioned a little while ago, it’s leaf season again. My sweeper came in on Friday - I got the smallest one that Cyclone Rake had and so far it’s a good system. I made a mistake in my ordering, though. I decided to order a custom-made adaptor [...]
If this doesn’t make you feel good, there may not be any music that does today. Bob Marley and Jammin.
[...]I have discovered two significant gaps in your music listening - here anyway - so here is the first. The Doobie Brothers with Listen to the Music.
[...]Just to see what shows up that you don’t know about? Well, April Becker-Antoniou did and she came up with results that included a site her dad set up for her. You see, her parents had divorced after she was born and her mother moved to California and never [...]
Here’s an old folk song from the late 50s done by the Kingston Trio, Greenback Dollar.
[...]Battle lines are being drawn. There is a war, a battle for your eyes, waged by two implacable foes with opposite views, one cold, detached and statistical and the other creative, free-spirited and emotional. Both sides see themselves as the Rebels fighting the evil Darth Vader. It’s almost a religious war [...]
The NSA is building a facility in Utah to store all those conversations they’ve been recording. It will have the capability of housing 1,000,000,000,000,000 gigabytes of data. That should hold all those songs you illegally downloaded.
The Navy launched the USS New York, a warship made from 7.5 tons of [...]
And once again, I’ve been sweeping but it’s not going to be the pain it has been. (Well, that’s relative, I guess. I bagged 30+ loads of leaves, roughly 600 cubic feet of leaves, over the weekend.) I’ve ordered a leaf vacuum to attach to my mower. It consists of [...]
Here’s the 5th Dimension with Wedding Bell Blues (another Laura Nyro song). Damn, that woman could write!
[...]Here’s an example (although fictional) that illustrates what could come to happen if there is no net neutrality. Net neutrality, for those who aren’t aware is a movement that is battling what major broadband providers want to do - create a tier of access to the Internet, providing corporations with [...]
Your huddled masses learning to be free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
The Emma Lazarus poem is inscribed on a bronze plate at the foot of the Status of Liberty for a reason. It [...]
Well, the Internet failed me. I’d intended to post one from Rosanne Cash’s new release, The List, for sentimental reasons. The List is literally songs from a list her father, Johnny, gave her of 100 songs “everybody ought to know how to sing.” However, I guess it’s a good thing [...]
